my TA says bytes will drop below 0.0001 before the end of 2020  Cry
my predictions based on fundamental analysis:
distribution of all witnesses will take 100+ years
the first non-fraudulent ICO will appear on the platform - never
bittrex delisting - 73% before 2020, 94% before 2021, 99.99% before 2022
best strategy - x100 short position. Level of risk - risk free

McAfee said that Bitcoin will go $1m by the end of 2020. In that case, 0.0001 GBYTE/BTC would mean $100 per GBYTE. That's more than it is now. Ok, the second McAfee prediction was way optimistic, so let's take his first prediction, $0.5m by end of 2020, that would still be $50 per GBYTE. https://twitter.com/officialmcafee/status/935900326007328768

First more serious attempts to decentralize the witnesses was done nearly year ago. The progress has been slower than expected, but basically 2 witnesses with first year. I expect that Tony will keep 1 witness in the end, which means that 9 more witnesses to go, so that's basically 4 and half years more, but since you only need over half of the witnesses to collude to do some harm, we have 5 more witnesses to go when Tony will not have the majority anymore. That means 2 and half years to get total of 7 witnesses decentralized. Not near your 100+ year prediction, even if you start counting how many witnesses have been replaced since launch, you just pulled that number out of your a$$. https://medium.com/obyte/the-future-of-byteball-the-byteball-foundation-cca9d495bf46

Guess what else is not going to happen in 100 years? All Bitcoin will not be distributed in 100 years, but with next 12 years, it will be get pretty close to 21m.

Somebody started this Bittrex delisting rumor more than year ago, so where is it? Do you mean delisting from US market or both? Neither has happened, so why they should do it in 3 years when more and more witnesses get decentralized to different people.

I don't understand why you think this coin is a scam. Because it didn't fulfill its goals within the first two years? Maybe you can point that out. I really want to know why you think that.
yeah it is centralized database with zero use cases, luck of community and coin lost 99.2% of value. We must not allow new people to fall into this trap.

Okay, but that does not make this coin a scam. A scam would be something completely different in my eyes.
The problem is that decentralization alone does not change the world. Not every Bitcoin user has a copy of the blockchain. Heck, not even everyone has their coins in their own wallet and are in charge of the private keys.

But you could load a copy of the Blockchain or in this case a copy of the Obyte DAG. You are responsible for the decentralization. 
And supposing you are talking about the 12 witnesses, they do not mean centralization as far as i have understood the function of the witnesses.
Also, it is possible for you to convince users to use your node as witness. But you have to raise your stakes for that (give in your anonymity) as well as in Bitcoin (invest in hardware).

It's good to see that some users understand what "fuk" has failed to understand, he just likes to FUD without actually learning anything new.

Somebody would say something like "centralized database" only if they don't understand how Obyte tech works.
Obyte doesn't have block producers like Bitcoin, Ethereum or EOS has. Anybody with full node can post a transaction straight to Obyte DAG, which is not the case for many mineable coins.
Witnesses are just like other full nodes, which follow the protocol rules, so none of the witnesses have a power to censor you. So how is that centralized?

Only part of the centralization is that not all witnesses have yet been given to independent reputable people/companies, so there is a possibility for the founder to collude at the moment, but that doesn't make any sense because all the full nodes would instantly know about it and it would kill the project, which again would make any sense for the founder to do.
But that doesn't mean that all the witness nodes are currently located in same machine and you can't verify that either because witnesses are hidden behind the TOR.

Obyte is even more decentralized full nodes than EOS, because each of the Obyte full nodes has full history of the DAG, while EOS has grown into terabytes with just one year, so few actually run the node with full history.

Here some more stats:
Over 100 full nodes around the world have connected to main hub. There are constantly around 200 wallets connect to that hub alone.
There are actually (stats page doesn't show all) around 7 hubs/relays (full nodes that accept incoming transactions), but each full node can communicate without accepting incoming connections too. This is the stats page for main hub and full nodes (some stats are hub specific and doesn't reflect stats about other hubs).
https://stats.obyte.org/worldmap.php

There is no single person who develops the platform and there are more than just one wallet (besides official wallet, there are also unofficial web wallet and BIoT testnet wallet for IoT devices).
There is not even just one explorer, there is explorer for just data too https://obyte.io/
Node.js is not even only environment you can write apps that use Obyte network, there is even JS library, which lets you connect to Obyte network from website front-end.

Why Obyte exactly is bothered you so much? There are thousands of other coins that are definitely a scam. Why do you want to save people only from Obyte? Do you have a big loss due to buying it someday? Tell us your story. It is interesting to know.
i can not help everyone, but even if i save 10 people who listened to me and did not buy bytes, this is already a big victory
maybe if i was active while you join the crypto word, you would not be buying bytes at $700 and you would not experience those unpleasant feelings associated with the loss of 96% of the value of investments. Saying this, i'm glad that you were lucky and you returned your investments. The only problem is that you sold a part of your bytes, which means someone bought them, which means this is another unfortunate person trapped in  Cry


You are not a hero in this thread who is saving people from buying, you are just butthurt because your own stupid decisions of buying high or selling low.
Half of your "facts" are not even true because you don't even have the basic skills or knowledge for fact-checking. I doubt you have ever even run a full node.
And that "96% of the value" is also totally pointless number, like there weren't other cryptocurrencies that went too high during bull-run and have now heavily corrected? This doesn't make them scams.

All in all, you don't even understand what scam means and you are just taking a dump on other peoples hard work.

world wide adoption is ready for 0byttes

Thanks for all the FUD, you have at least helped some people to get into GBYTE very cheaply. It would be very kind of you, if you would put your own bag on sale too, we need more liquidity on sellers side, currently the low amounts on sell side is causing the price pump every time somebody tries to buy more than 50 GBYTE.

wtf bb's price is insane  Shocked

How insane? You mean that it GBYTE_USD price has stayed around $35 for a month now?
Or you mean GBYTE_BTC price has dropped in past week like every other altcoin BTC price has dropped?
If you haven't noticed, BTC is gaining dominance, so all altcoin prices in BTC are dropping.

His node is down since 18 June. It is not the first time.

And do you know what? Nobody cares.

What a fucking joke. Seriously I cannot trust candidates presented by obyte foundation?

Maybe because one witness being down out of 12 is not the end of the world.
Instead of telling this on Bitcointalk to just spread FUD, did you contract about it Fabien or told about this on Discord, where he is also present?
No, just come here to FUD about it. This is not helping anybody.

Thank you Byteball team ! ❤️ keep doing the great work. 💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻🚀🚀🚀

Thanks for pointing that out, your contribution is so valuable for us. I have no idea what we would do without guys like you, who think that Obyte Bytes are a pegged with BTC.

I see this has been rebranded and renamed. I remember how initial distribution was organized but I have trouble recalling what black bytes were. Lucky sequences of blocks which produced lucky coins or something. If black bytes are now tradable I will need to know how to quickly decouple black bytes from normal bytes and this way generate me more riches. Tell me what where and how because my punches are very hard, u wont like them.

Blackbytes are privacy coins on Obyte network, I think this explains the best what they are https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1574508.0
Don't remember Lucky coins, but there are Zingo, Tango, Tingo and Zango coins, which were just created for fun.
There was also LuckyByte lottery, which is not run by the owner anymore and the source code is made open-source https://github.com/byteball/luckybytes

Blackbytes are tradable on Freebe exchange http://freebe.byte-ball.com/

I want to ask about Airdrop for Steemit users last year, I see there are funds in the smart contract and it will be claimed automatically or manually when that time comes?

Manually, each user has their own date (+1 year from the attestation date) when they can transfer the funds out of the smart-contract.

Seems like network halted. Last transaction posted 1 hour ago.

I can't even send a transaction to myself.

Obyte = not reliable

Network didn't halt, default hub that services light wallets and chat messages had a hiccup, Chinese hub also worked and full nodes still kept running even without the hub.
can you make it so that if the default hub does not work then it is replaced with the next one in the list?

The wallet splash screen says that full node is better for privacy (app won't ask balances for your addresses from hub), so I am guessing it is not that great when light node suddenly picks random hub if it looses connection with main hub. Also, you can lose the connection with main hub by just having shitty internet connection too.
On top of that, hub has API keys for Android and iPhone notifications, which would mean that this backup hub would have to be run by the same person.

So, new hubs make more sense in cases when somebody makes their own version of GUI wallet and starts running a hub to service light nodes of their wallet. Others can still use their hub too, but they probably miss the notifications then.

I have an byteball backup from 2017. How can I return the backup? Now that byteball is Obyte?

what i know is , safe the wallet.dat , and reinstall the wallet and replace the old wallet with the new one...


Don't think it works this way.

Have a look at this good article https://steemit.com/byteball/@profchydon/how-to-perform-a-full-backup-and-restore-for-your-byte-wallet

It has been written before the rebranding to Obyte but the wallet still works same way as before I guess.

So download the latest version a perform a restore from backup/fullbackup dependng on how you saved it two years ago.

Exactly, Obyte is not a Bitcoin fork, so there is no wallet.dat, you need to use the "Full backup" from the settings and then "Restore from full backup" on new device. After that you should stop using the old device.

any plan on listing byteball on more exchanges?
it's a great coin with great features.. just need more exchanges and more marketings.

Already listed on many exchanges, difficult to list on better exchanges if you don't even have volume on existing ones.

Is there any honest development still going into this project? I was a big believer in it earlier, bought a bunch, and now see it's just totally dusted. Pretty disheartening.

Development happens on Github, all the code is open-source, so you can see what is going on https://github.com/byteball
Just month ago, there was a huge wallet update, which fixed many small bugs that the wallet had and also introduced prosaic contracts https://github.com/byteball/obyte-gui-wallet/releases
Next big change is already on testnet https://github.com/byteball/OIPs/blob/master/oip-0002.md

Only the biggest news are posted on Bitcointalk, but these get buried behind FUD very quickly.
If you want to know what is actually going on then join Discord, Reddit or subscribe to newsletter.

A quick glance at this thread shows nothing has changed. The focus is still on dribbling out free bytes (in ever smaller amounts) at the complete whim of the coin originator.

The biggest problem with this coin has always been the distribution method, or lack of. That is whats killing it.

And what is your vision of perfect distribution? IMHO, Bitcoin airdrop gave out too many bytes too fast, but maybe it was justified back then when there were more active users.
Now when there are little active users because of bear market, you think giving out small amount of bytes is bad? Would you rather give all out at once to small amount of people?
Don't we have already too many whales? By the way, 200GB-400GB per week is 1%-2% per year inflation, so how is that "lack of", should it be even higher?
259  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: Obyte: Totally new consensus algorithm + private untraceable payments on: May 24, 2019, 09:33:33 AM

Yikes! Why would the dev team allow an Obyte megawhale join the weekly draw? Hasn't he have enough already? There should have been exclusions added to the weekly draw. I was led to believe that the draw was some form of distribution. Continued distribution of remaining bytes to the largest holders is nuts.

Because that is the main point of the draw airdrop, you hold more bytes on your address and you increase your chances to win.
The draw is still a random lottery, just whales and attested users have more tickets to that draw. There are 2 draws, unattested users get only 0.01 points per GB.
Everybody has a possibility to buy more GBYTE from exchanges and add it to their address to increase their chances in next draw.

Are you saying that we should ban people from draw airdrop who get too much GBYTE on their address? And how are we suppose to do that if they could distribute these bytes to as many addresses they like?

That is why Obyte is giving out more tickets to attested addresses by a wide margin. Spreading out your bytes to several addresses won''t help if the addresses are not attested. And I'm sure having many attested addresses by a single owner in the weekly draw would stick out like a sore thumb.

So, now you complain that the attested addresses get bonus points? I thought your initial issue was that whales are allowed?
Whales are not usually attested and attested users get bonus for only the first 10GB. That is not wide margin.
The bonus is only given to first attested address. So, attesting multiple addresses won't help, they will have same points as anybody else.
What helps is referring lot of other users to join the draw airdrop, which whales are not doing either.
